Balanced Question Time panel tonight - of course not! VOL 2
Discussion
I quite enjoyed QT last night, I guess mainly because Terry Christian didn't get the adulation he expected when he tried to whip up the crowd.
What I did find interesting was how Emily Thornberry started off very aggressively, she then must have observed Tel getting a kicking as she then went very quiet for a good while. She then re-entered the debate as Aunty Emily, laughing and joking about having the best job in the world and encouraging young girls into politics.
Claire Perry was onto a winner, the support she received from an audience in Darlington surprised me (am I out of touch?)
The Leave man gave a stirring speech worthy of Churchill.
Rachel Sylvester may have made some excellent points but I was too fascinated by how she could speak through gritted teeth to notice.

Missed the show but TC was on 5live just after defending his appearance. Woman rang up to tell him was was a condescending w
ker!
He was awful. His rants on Brexit invariably ended with 'The Pound has tanked 15%' - which was effectively met with a hall of people rolling their eyes.ker!Christian simply doesn't know when to shut up. Thornberry is right up there with the Salmonds in terms of venal opportunism backed by bugger all, you can almost see her brain struggling to keep up with her mouth.
Had to laugh at her and the Tory lady joining each other on the 'men just shout at each other all the time' bandwagon when the pair of them had been doing exactly that themselves five minutes earlier.

I actually thought the audience was on the verge of a standing ovation when Claire Perry called Terry(bill) Christain rude,
he didn't go down well in Darlington last night that's for sure.
Terry Christian did what he always does. Listen to him on, say, Talk Sport or 5 Live and he's the same. Talks over people, makes snide remarks (like last night when he called Mr Tice "simple"), tries unfunny put downs and generally comes across as a gobste. More importantly, he says nothing that contains facts or reasoned opinion. He's like a tabloid newspaper made human.
As for Claire Perry, could she have been any more lightweight? When the subject of local authority cuts came up, she waffled on about how people in Devizes like integrated services. What? Why didn't she just say this: "Look, Labour's spending left a pile of debt and an annual deficit. We have to cut costs, including what local authorities spend. If you don't like it, then take your complaint to Mr Gordon Brown. Or vote for Jeremy Corbyn."
I think David Dimbleby is excellent (many here disagree, but hey) and I feel sorry for him trying to supervise a sorry mix of intellectual lightweights and mouthy attention seekers. And that's not counting the audience!

It is uncomfortable to see how ill-educated and dim so many TV show brexiteers seem to be, yes. Depressing. It this the kind of genius behind the vote?
Blazer man - stand together, 5th in the world. Jesus.
Where are the articulate intelligent ones? We keep being told how many there are, but where are they? Not in the govt it seems, as many moaning brexiteers will attest.
Is this continual embarrassing flag waving st show not uncomfortable viewing for you, or any self respecting brexiteer?

Gloria also appears to despise anyone who acknowledges or appreciates the contribution of older generations.
In Gloria's world, remainers are well educated, intelligent and articulate forward thinking types who are showing the thick Xenophobic, jingoistic, flag wavers the way to the light. We have posters of Spitfires and Vera Lynn on our walls and listen to Rule Britannia on our gramophones, dontcha know.

34 minutes in - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2069&a...te. More importantly, he says nothing that contains facts or reasoned opinion. He's like a tabloid newspaper made human.Well done that woman.
For the first time in ages I watched QT live last night without any preconceived ideas or reading anything on here or elsewhere.
TC was an utter C**T! What a total knobber - talking over people - calling Brexit guy 'simple' and getting away with it?? I hope I never have to endure that sanctimonious little pr**k ever again on TV.
And the shouting over others?? What was that all about, DD should have asked him to leave in my opinion'; or given him a public 'leave or be courteous and shut up?'
I am surprised he got away with as much as he did to be honest - possibly the rudest and worst guest on there for many a year - and there have been some dreadful ones.....
ps - Don't get me on that useless bint ET / Lady Nugee!!! AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH

Did we watch the same thing? He spouted patriotic b
ks with no evidence to back up anything.Terry Christian did make an arse of himself. But he did have a point when he asked where any evidence was and he was just ignored.
